Tight radius drilling can reduce greenhouse gas

Australian researchers at the Cooperative Research Centre for Mining (CRC Mining) have devised a new drilling technology that they believe will help to cut down on the release of greenhouse gases. Tight-radius drilling (TRD) technology taps natural gas reserves in coal seams and replaces it with CO2. This stabilizes the seam and removes CO2 from the atmosphere.

Related to Coal Burning?

There has also been a push to burn low sulfur coal. This has a lower sulfur content and less of an impact on acid rain, but higher mercury concentrations. If we justify burning more fossil fuels and attempt to balance this by injection pumps feeding CO2 into reservoirs underground. We may only be chossing the lesser of to wrongs.
